There are remedies. For starters, if you issued subpoenas, then you should just look to the face of the subpoena and you will find the consquences of not answering.

Re: Divorce subpoena to deposition
What your lawyer should do is file a motion with the court compelling the witness to appear for the deposition (or the court for that matter) to answer why he/she should not be deposed. He/she should present an objection..not just not show up. If after the court orders him/her to show up and she/he doesn't then another motion should be brought before a judge requesting the appropriate relief..a capias to have him/her brought before the court and attorneys fees and costs for the aggravation.
